This non-denominational Buddhist meditation class its led by Rev. Hye Wol Sunim, a Sri Lankan monk ordained in two Buddhist traditions. Persons can be of any belief or faith, as long as they also have a sincere respect for what the Buddha taught 2,500 years ago.

The format is 25 minutes of meditation, followed by 40 minutes of dhamma talk followed by another 25 minutes of meditation. Informal mingling over tea afterwards for another 20 minutes is optional. There are enough cushions for participants and chairs are available for those who don’t like to sit on a cushion.

Rev. Hye Wol Sunim was first ordained in Sri Lanka in 1977 and took robes in the Korean Zen tradition in 1984. Rev Sunim studied with Buddhist masters in Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Australia, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. He arrived in the US in 1991. He translates Pali texts and teaches the early Pali canon. Rev. Sunim founded the Meditation Center for Zen Communities and is the guiding dhamma teacher for LA Dharma and the Insight Center.
